Some Rapes are worse than others

At least that is what this man - Ken Clarke - seems to think. While talking on the radio Kenneth Clarke came out with:

I am sick of the censorship that surrounds the issue of rape.

So I shall defy it. Of course all rapes are bad. But some rapes are worse than others.

The extension of rape, to cover any situation where a woman says she has been raped, is a huge difficulty for a fair legal system that relies on actual evidence before deciding guilt.

Even for saying this, I know quite well that I will get raging, lying abuse.

This morning MEP Roger Helmer has come out to defend him by saying that some women are partly to blame for their rape. 

"Imagine a woman voluntarily goes to her boyfriend's apartment, undresses and gets into bed, perhaps anticipating sex. But at the last minute she gets cold feet and says 'Stop!'. The young man, in the heat of the moment, is unable to restrain himself and carries on.

"The victim surely shares a part of the responsibility, if only for establishing reasonable expectations in her boyfriend's mind."

This shows that the Slut Walk is needed to change peoples perceptions of Rape. Rape is a disgustingly violent crime that will stay with the woman and affect everything she does in her life from that moment on long after the person who committed the crime actually serves whatever sentence that they get given. 

Whether it is a boyfriend or husband who wouldnt stop when you said no to the guy who attacks you when you are out and about it is still a violation of a woman and it is still a rape. A woman is NOT the husbands property and it is not his right to expect and demand sex whenever he wishes. A man is able to stop he just chooses not to as I dont think men understand the effect a rape has on a woman and just thinks it was a joke in the heat of the moment. They all also use the oh I couldnt stop myself excuse and the you put it on a plate you cant change your mind at the last minute. 

What kind of message is this sending the younger generation if the older generation are still coming out with tosh like this. If you get into bed with your girlfriend and she says no you can still have sex because she enticed you and how are you able to control yourself? 

Because Ken Clarke wants to free up prison you dont have the risk of a jail sentence because you knew the victim and she knew you so that makes it a lesser crime. Will the same be said now of date rape cases or cases where the woman is drunk and a man takes advantage? 

I think if men were put in the position - specifically Ken Clarke - they would think differently about rape. Maybe when he is having a shower at his fancy mens club someone needs to wait until he drops the soap and then show him exactly what it feels like to have things inserted into your body that you didnt consent to.
